Stan Lee, the Marvel Comics legend
who co-created some of its most
famous heroes like Spider-Man, Iron
Man, and the Fantastic Four, died
Monday in Los Angeles at the age of
95. Lee was reportedly rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he
later died, according to . The cause of death has not been
immediately released. Lee’s legacy is defined by his
numerous popular comic book
character creations for Marvel
Comics, where he began working in
1939 at age 18 when the company was
called Timely Comics. The company changed its name to Marvel Comics in
1961 when Lee and artist Jack Kirby
co-created the Fantastic Four and saw
it go on to become a hit. Lee’s birth name was “Stanley Martin
Lieber,” but used “Stan Lee” as his pen
name and then later had it legally
changed. With the success of Marvel’s First
Family came more Lee/Kirby creations
throughout the 1960s, including Hulk,
Thor, Iron Man and the X-Men. Lee co-
created Daredevil with Bill Everett, and
Doctor Strange and Spider-Man with Steve Ditko. The charact

The characters all lived in
a shared universe that mirrors our
own, with most heroes residing in
Lee’s home of New York City. The
common factor that proved to be Lee’s
key to success was giving superheroes relatable flaws as
opposed to making them perfect,
infallible beings. |

These characters eventually went on
to star in lucrative movies, TV shows,
and video games, and were the basis
for action figures, statues, and all
manner of merchandise. They are the
foundation of Marvel Entertainment, which is now a multi-faceted company
of which Marvel Comics is only one
aspect of the business. Marvel Comics
is currently the leading publisher of the
comic book industry in terms of sales
and comics sold and is only rivaled by fellow superhero publisher DC
Entertainment. While Marvel
eventually grew beyond Lee, many
credit his showmanship as a large
reason for the company’s initial growth
and success. Lee prided himself on having a friendly
rapport with fans and would answer
questions in the letters pages with a
personable and exuberant style,
signing his correspondences with his
signature phrase, “Excelsior!” |

Yet for as beloved as Lee went on to
become as the smiling and affable
“Stan the Man,” his career was not
without controversy. Lee is credited
with creating the “Marvel Method” of
writing comics where he would write a summary of the story and let the artist
draw the full issue from that rather
than providing them with a fully
scripted, beat-by-beat breakdown. This
meant the artist was doing the lion’s
share of the creative legwork, and so Lee was seen as taking an undue
amount of credit over his artistic
collaborators, Kirby in particular. In
1971, Kirby even created a comic
character based on Lee called the
Funky Flashman who was a money- hungry man that took advantage of
others and tricked people into thinking
he was making creative contributions. |

Propelled by his massively popular and
influential work at Marvel, Lee became
an icon known across the world
thanks to his glowing personality,
sharp wit, and warm sense of humor,
instantly recognizable in his signature aviators tightly trimmed mustache. His
work also inspired multiple generations
of comic book creators to pick up a
pencil and start their own careers. His wife Joan passed away in 2017
due to stroke-related complications.
He is survived by his daughter Joan
Celia "J. C." Lee.
